Olympus Has Fallen

Olympus has Fallen, yes I said it! I just saw this movie last weekend and it was very good. Almost the entire movie I was on the edge of my seat and ready for all the action to happen. If you read my blog then you already know that my top favorite movies are the ones about the world ending or overall really bad things happening to the country, I don’t exactly know why I am so obsessed with these types of movies but they always get me going. The movies always make me think “What If”… so if something terrible truly happened what would we do and at what lengths would we (America) do these things. The movie is basically about the president having a conference at the white house with North Korean officials to talk about foreign trade issues, when suddenly a terrorist attack happens on the white house and surrounding areas of the white house, people become hostages and hostages become heroes. The movie was seriously SO good. It was never boring and the entire time you just were on edge and wanted to know what was going to happen next, and at some points you even get a little teary eyed. My main conclusion to this movie was it was “KICK ASS”. Now, let’s talk about the actors, I mean you have the one and only Gerald Butler oh and you can’t forget Samuel Lee Jackson. They were some of the main characters in the movie and portrayed both of their roles very well and approving. Gerald Butler was the main character to the movie and he is the one that kicked ass, his character was a CIA agent and knew pretty much everything and anything. He also wasn’t that bad to look at the entire movie, but we can talk about that later(: Samuel never seems to let me down with the movies he is in, I have not came upon a movie with in it that I would say I didn’t like, because he is one of best and my personal favorite actors. His role he portrayed in the movie wasn’t that big but he still did a really good job. The movie could not have been played without them and they made it as good as it truly was. I really do not think that anyone can dislike this movie, I would recommend it to anyone that likes action and likes the “World is Ending” type movies. The movie satisfied me and you should definitely get up and go watch it. (Word Count 430)
